Traineeships

One Administrative Traineeship is offered once a year working with our Human Resources and Training Department. We work in conjunction with Gladstone Area Group Apprentices Limited (GAGAL) to provide high calibre, enthusiastic and customer focussed candidates.

Administrative Trainees undertake a wide range of duties including: reception / switchboard, telephone and face to face enquiries, word processing, data entry, record keeping, correspondence, mail handling, maintaining training facilities, visitor inductions and security card system administration.

The Administrative Traineeship will take 12 months to complete and the successful candidate will come out with a Certificate III in Business (Office) Administration.

To be considered for an Admin Traineeship you must have the following:
  • Completed your Higher School Certificate (Grade 12)
  • Excellent literacy, language and numerical skills
  • Experience and exposure to the Microsoft suite – i.e. Outlook, MS Word, Powerpoint, and Excel
  • Excellent attitude and desire to learn new systems and work in a busy team environment.
Administrative Traineeships are particularly valuable for those people looking to “test drive” a career or are in a gap year prior to studying at University.
